Delivery of Generators and Emergency Energy Support to Ukraine

About

In response to the ongoing energy crisis in Ukraine caused by Russia’s systematic attacks on civilian energy infrastructure, the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova implemented a humanitarian initiative aimed at supporting critical infrastructure and essential public services during the winter period.

On 4 March 2026, a shipment of generators was delivered from the Republic of Moldova to Ukraine as part of the “Warmth for Ukraine” campaign. The initiative was implemented in Moldova by the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Moldova. The campaign was conducted from 29 January to 13 February 2026 and mobilized civil society, businesses, media organizations, and individuals around a common objective: providing urgent energy assistance to Ukraine amid continuing attacks on its power infrastructure.

As a result of the campaign, more than 481,918 Moldovan lei (equivalent to over 1.2 million Ukrainian hryvnias) were raised, enabling the procurement and delivery of generators of various capacities. In total, 17 generators were transferred to Ukraine, including seven additional units contributed by the Moldova Fruct Association.
‍
This campaign also marked the first public fundraising initiative of the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova that mobilized individual donations from the wider community. The initiative demonstrated a broad level of civic solidarity in the Republic of Moldova, bringing together private citizens, civil society actors, and representatives of the business sector. The response of Moldovan businesses, including the contribution of additional generators by the Moldova Fruct Association, illustrated the readiness of the private sector to support humanitarian efforts aimed at assisting Ukraine during the ongoing energy crisis.

The energy equipment will be transferred to the State Institution “Center of Maternity and Childhood of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine” and to the Sumy Regional Military Administration. The generators will support the uninterrupted operation of hospitals, schools, and other socially critical institutions in the region, ensuring access to electricity during power outages and strengthening the resilience of essential public services.

The fundraiser is organized by the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Moldova. Logistical support for the delivery was provided by Nova Post Moldova, while media partners TVR Moldova, Nokta, and Vocea Basarabiei Radio/TV ensured nationwide information outreach for the campaign.

Power That Protects: From Community Solidarity to Critical Humanitarian Support

The delivery of generators to the State Institution “Center of Maternity and Childhood of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine” has strengthened the facility’s capacity to maintain essential medical services during power outages caused by attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The Center provides specialised care to critically ill children and pregnant women with complex medical conditions, making reliable access to electricity essential for the continuity of medical care. Professor Tetiana Znamenska, Head of the Association of Neonatologists of Ukraine, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine and a representative of the Center, expressed her gratitude to the citizens of Moldova and everyone who contributed to the fundraising campaign. The generators were purchased and delivered as a direct result of the “Warmth for Ukraine” campaign, organised by the National Congress of Ukrainians of Moldova in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Moldova. The campaign brought together individual donors, businesses, civil society and media partners around a shared humanitarian objective: providing emergency energy support to Ukraine. For the Center, the generators provide practical support that helps sustain the delivery of essential medical care during emergency power disruptions. Professor Znamenska’s testimony offers a direct perspective on what this support means for a medical facility caring for children and mothers whose treatment cannot be interrupted. At the same time, this story represents a broader humanitarian response. In total, 17 generators were delivered to Ukraine through the campaign, including seven additional units contributed by the Moldova Fruct Association. More than 481,918 MDL were mobilised in Moldova, demonstrating the capacity of citizens, businesses and civil society to come together around an urgent humanitarian need. The campaign turned individual contributions into tangible support for essential services in Ukraine. Each donation, regardless of its size, became part of a coordinated response that provided critical energy equipment to institutions affected by the consequences of the war. For NCUM, the campaign also demonstrated the potential of community mobilisation and cross-sector partnerships to respond to urgent humanitarian needs. What began as a public fundraising initiative became a concrete example of how solidarity in Moldova can be translated into practical support for people and institutions affected by the war in Ukraine.
